SOFT OPENING WATCH - Seven Dwarfs Mine Train Coaster

[dstrawn9889]

i gues that they could have been training on 3rd shift...

Last day of my trip is today. I hope they soft before I leave!

I hate to kill the dream, but Soft Opens are not going to happen today. And probably not this week.

Hoping for Memorial Day. It will make me do the Happy Dance (literally the step shuffle that Happy dances)

How do you know?

Seems like nothing is definite and there is so much back and forth. The people that could really tell us aren't supposed to. The only thing I can say for sure, is that if it is safe enough for extras to ride for a commercial, then softs should be coming right behind. I hope....I pray....I hope some more....

Spending the evening there. If anything interesting is discovered, I'll let you know.

They still have a few days to soft open the ride. I do not arrive for 5 more days. My fairy godmother cannot let me down!

All good things come to those who wait!

Historically haven't soft openings been largely in the mid-morning? All this talk about 'at night'... it seemed like the in the past the workers that come and facilitate the soft openings along with the regular staff seemed to work 'banker hours'. Get to work, then head to site... do some openings.. then close early and head back to shop'

When I did the star tours 2.0 shifts it started about 4 the first day. It was early all the other days. Debating whether or not to head out there and see.

Yep I would agree with that, although there have been a few exceptions.

When will the soft openings begin?!?!?

* places hands on sides of my head and screams! *

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

tension breaker. Had to be done.

Gonna be in the MK on April 30... hoping for good news here

 

[bferrara16]

It will not be open for guests on April 22nd. Cast might be scheduled that day but won't be related to a soft opening experience.

Again - you'll see activity there on the 22nd. Even be able to get some cool photos - just won't be you riding it.

Today is (further) confirmation that Bolt knows whats up.

Observations from today's commercial shoot at Seven Dwarfs Mine Train including ride duration timing

 

[wdw71fan]

Ride is "there"... Should see guest testing within 48 hours.

As I've been told today:

The intent is on the testing being 'small scale' as far as how 'long' it will be open to guests... Keep in mind, these soft openings are to exercise the CM's in operations, not so much for early guest entry to the attraction. Although that is the best side effect

Photo tweeted by Deb Willis:

They look pretty relaxed.

That's good news!

I was going to be in that commercial but didn't feel like going today so I'm getting a kick out of these pictures. I could have ridden the ride!

OMG! So many fan projecting and those with 'inside information' flying on social media, funny nobody's inside info seems to matching the other tweets. To funny.
